Flushometer Repair in Utah

Cost-effective and convenient, flushometers are widespread in modern public restrooms. When measured against the design of traditional gravity-flush toilets that are common to residential homes, flushometers are far stronger and water-efficient.

Of course, like all plumbing fixtures, a flushometer will occasionally break down or fail to operate at maximum efficiency. When this happens, it can be difficult to find the right valves and components. At Beehive Plumbing, we carry a wide variety of battery powered, solar powered, and water powered flushometers for the urinals and toilets of your commercial, institutional, or industrial restroom. Our selection includes bothhands-free and handle-operated parts.

Flushometer Basics

Flushometers are metal water-diverters that connect directly to plumbing lines for commercial toilets and urinals. This allows the device to flush waste using water pressure from the main water supply, eliminating any need for the standing tanks of water that are necessary in gravity-flush toilets.

Commercial Flushometer Installation, Replacement, and Repair

Because flushometers require a water system that typically exceeds those found in private residences and smaller buildings, they are generally installed in commercial settings. When flushometers malfunction or fail, businesses must often find replacement and/or repair options quickly.

Common Flushometer Problems

The restrooms of commercial, institutional, and industrial organizations (such as retail shops, schools, and factories) tend to get plenty of traffic. This high-volume use can cause significant wear and tear to plumbing fixtures.

Although they generate a powerful flush that typically clears waste from pipes instantly and entirely, flushometers systems do clog from time to time. When this happens, they can create great problems for the layperson who simply doesn’t understand how to fix them.

However, our experienced professionals at Beehive Plumbing can repair any problems with your flushometer urinal or toilet. The most common issues associated with flushometers include:

A complete failure to flush

An insufficient flush that fails to adequately clear waste

Leaking valves

Lurching vibrations during flushing

Short flushes that shut off almost immediately

Long flushes that either fail to shut off or shut off only after extended periods of time

Flushometers vs. Traditional Tank Toilets

Because they do not rely upon a raised water tank to operate, a toilet/urinal that uses a flushometer is able to eliminate the refill problems that plague traditional residential toilets. The absence of a tank also enables the design of far sleeker plumbing fixtures that can fit into far smaller spaces.

Flushometers provide a high-pressure flush that prevents clogs that might otherwise occur in gravity-flush toilets. And because they do not have tanks, flushometer-based toilets/urinals are significantly more tamper-proof. Flushometer units also offer a hands-free flushing option for maximum cleanliness and convenience.
